I have 2 favorites one deer hunting and one turkey hunting.

The turkey hunt was with my son and Antler Eater. We went that day with every intention to get my 9 year old son a shot at a turkey. Well that morning the turkeys were not answering our calls very well so we would call a while and move. Well finally we got to a large open spot in the woods that we turkey hunt in and yelped a couple times and way off in the distance we heard some Toms answer. About 10 minutes later 2 toms show up at the edge of the timber about 60 yards away. They both spot Antler Eaters decoys and one fanned out and came in on a rope with his buddy in tow. My son was ready to shoot and when the bird got about 10 yards in front of him he let him have it. The cool part was he was sitting in my lap and I was whispering in his ear to shoot (no blind involved). Turned out to be a 23 pound bird with a 10 1/2 inch beard. Oh ya Antler Eater got it all on tape also.

The deer hunt wasaevening hunt. Traditionally I don't like afternoon hunts but that morning I had seen a 200" monster about 40 yards away from me and I was hoping that he hadn't gone to far. Well come to find out he was still in the same area of the woods and had found a companion. I had been sitting just a short time when all of the sudden I see a doe coming from my left. She came to about 40 yards away thru some brush and layed down. I thought that is strange why would she lay down when she should be going to feed? I looked some 30 yards behind this doe and guess who is there, yep the monster was laying on this old road just watching this doe. I pick up my grunt call and hit it and the old boy doesn't even flinch. About 20 minutes later and many failed attempts at trying to make this monster mad enough to come over and look for the intruder the doe decided she had laid long enough and got up and walked past my stand about 10 yards away. Well in true form the buck gets up and starts my way, I stand up and grab my bow readying myself for a shot and the doe spooks, not because of me but I think it was the monster. She ran directly away from me and the old fella decided to save some steps and ran right away. That was the last time I saw this deer but I will never forget that afternoon. He was a true beauty. When I got down that morning there was a shrub that this deer had stood in front of and I thought maybe I should practice a shot and see if the deer was in range. I shoot at the bush and guess what, yep right through the middle of the bush. I don't feel bad because I have set my limit to 30 yards and he was outside of my limit. Still a hunt to remember.
